"Shake, Rattle & Roll With It" s a collection of Vikki's honest - and hilarious - essays about the ups and downs of life with a chronic illness. She shows us how to laugh at ourselves by first laughing at her, as she unabashedly shares with us her most embarrassing moments in her battle with Parkinson's. Chapter titles include: "Hey Doc, Call Me When They Find a Cure, Okay?" "Thank You for Calling Google.doc. Yep, You're Gonna Die." "Date Night. This isn't How I Remember It." "I Gave Hubs a Pole Dance and He Can't Stop Laughing. It's Been Two Days." "The 20 Best Things About Having Parkinson's."
